ATE Test Development Engineer

Job Title

ATE Test Development Engineer

Role Summary

Develop ATE test programs and test hardware for high-speed networking switch ASICs, bringing designs from validation into manufacturing. The role sits in Global Operations supporting the Core Switching group and works with product, design and production teams to enable reliable, high-volume test and release of devices.

Experience Level

Senior — the posting specifies senior-level experience (see Education Requirements for years-of-experience guidance).
